Chapter 25 Qin Wu's Inner Demons
Chapter 25 Qin Wu's Inner Demons
The next few days.
Qin Wu then began to busy himself between his royal palace and the imperial guards.
He ignored everything else.
The Emperor of Eastern Qin also received the delegations from the three kingdoms.
The purpose of the joint mission from the three countries has also been made public.
They came together, hoping to force Dong Qin to sign a 10-year ceasefire agreement.
The reason for this was that not only the Northern Barbarians were severely damaged by Qin Wu.
Problems also arose during the Western Zhou and Southern Qi dynasties.
Both countries experienced widespread natural disasters, causing people to be displaced and countless people to starve to death.
In particular, during the Western Zhou Dynasty, the lack of timely disaster relief after the floods led to an epidemic.
Moreover, the plague is still ongoing.
This has greatly increased the pressure on the Western Zhou, who fear that the Eastern Qin, after severely damaging the Northern Barbarians, will launch an attack against them.
Due to its geographical location, the Southern Qi Dynasty did not experience floods, but it did suffer from drought.
In addition, the old emperor's health was deteriorating, making the struggle for succession among the princes even more intense.
They even went so far as to completely disregard the lives and deaths of ordinary people.
This has led to numerous rebellions within the country, and the government is currently busy suppressing these rebellions and lacks the capacity to wage war.
If Eastern Qin were to send troops to Southern Qi at this time, they would be in danger.
This led to the three kingdoms joining forces to force the Emperor of Eastern Qin to sign a peace treaty.
As long as Dong Qin signs the agreement.
Ten years is enough time for them to recover.
When that time comes, if Eastern Qin wants to send troops again, they won't be afraid.
How could the Emperor of Eastern Qin possibly agree to their demands? The peace talks between the four kingdoms were thus deadlocked.
The Divine Martial King's Palace.
"Your Highness, we've found it."
“A flood occurred in the western part of the Western Zhou Dynasty. Local officials in the Western Zhou Dynasty, fearing to take responsibility, concealed the specific details of the disaster. In addition, the lack of timely handling led to an outbreak of plague in the Western Zhou Dynasty.”
“Now, the western part of the Western Zhou Dynasty is filled with starving people, and the plague cannot be suppressed in a short period of time.”
"According to our investigation, the old emperor of Southern Qi is dying. The princes of Southern Qi are busy seizing power and don't care about the lives of the people at all."
"This has led to rebellions in many parts of Southern Qi, and Southern Qi is now in complete chaos."
"Adding to the fact that the Northern Barbarians were crippled by us, the three kingdoms have joined forces to force us to sign an agreement and give them time to recover."
After entering the study, Qi Ye quickly reported the findings of their investigation to Qin Wu.
In fact, this intelligence was not difficult to investigate, even though the Western Zhou and Southern Qi dynasties blocked the news.
However, this would only keep Dong Qin in the dark for a short time; it would be impossible to keep it a secret for long.
This is why the three kingdoms suddenly united.
They wanted to sign the ceasefire agreement before the news reached Dong Qin.
“A clever scheme, but we need not concern ourselves with it. My father has probably already found out. Let them discuss this matter slowly.”
"How's the investigation I asked you to do?"
Qin Wu sneered.
The Three Kingdoms period was truly a brilliant scheme.
However, the Emperor of Eastern Qin was not so easily deceived.
Putting everything else aside, as an emperor, the Emperor of Eastern Qin was indeed a rare and powerful ruler.
Since his ascension to the throne, the power of Eastern Qin has grown stronger and stronger, and the lives of its people have improved.
These are enough to demonstrate his abilities.
Furthermore, since his ascension to the throne, he has conquered several cities in the Western Zhou and Southern Qi dynasties, expanding the territory of Eastern Qin.
This forced the three kingdoms to secretly unite against Eastern Qin.
"We've found some clues. Almost everyone from back then was silenced, but we've also found some leads that suggest some people may have escaped beforehand."
"Once we find the people, we can take direct action against them and avenge the old lady."
Qi Ye said.
They hadn't returned to the capital before, which made some investigations more complicated.
Although they know who attacked Qin Wu's birth mother, they lack evidence and witnesses. If Qin Wu were to directly attack his father's harem...
Even if Qin Wu is powerful, he will not be accepted by the world.
He may be crazy and ruthless, but that doesn't mean he has no bottom line.
He was, after all, a human being, not a beast.
"Alright, hurry up and find it. I've waited for over a decade, and I don't want to wait any longer."
When Qin Wu thought of his mother's tragic past, he began to lose control of his aura again.
His eyes flashed with madness.
Seeing Qin Wu's state, Qi Ye knew that his prince's inner demons had resurfaced.
If they don't take revenge soon, their prince might really go mad.
He couldn't understand what their prince had gone through back then, and why that hatred had become a demon in his heart.
Little did he know that Qin Wu had spent decades of his previous life fighting against mutated beasts and struggling for survival every day.
His daily life consisted of nothing but cultivation and killing; he had never experienced kinship or maternal love.
He felt so envious when he saw the children in the survival base who had the love of their mothers.
After dying in battle, he was inexplicably reborn into this world and had a mother who loved and protected him.
He cherished this maternal love so much that he and his mother lived a life of filial piety and harmony in a secluded courtyard, without any conflict or competition.
But those people destroyed his most precious possession and killed his mother.
This directly led to Qin Wu's inner demons.
"call."
Qin Wu exhaled a breath of stale air.
He finally suppressed the murderous intent in his heart.
He really couldn't hold back any longer.
Back when he was on the frontier, he could unleash his inner madness through killing.
But now he could only forcibly suppress the madness in his heart.
He didn't even know when he would lose control and go crazy.
"Your Highness, would you like to vent your anger?"
Qi Ye asked cautiously.
At this moment, he dared not provoke Qin Wu.
Otherwise, they wouldn't even know how they died.
"Walk."
After Qin Wu finished speaking, he walked directly out of the study.
The two then arrived at the dungeon.
Many spies are imprisoned here.
After Qin Wu entered, he took a long whip and casually went into a cell.
Then, a series of shrill screams echoed from the cell, sending chills down the spines of those outside.
After venting his anger for an hour, Qin Wuqiang killed a total of ten people.
Only then did he fully vent the madness in his heart.
When Qin Wu left and the guards went in to deal with the situation, they were so horrified by the horrific scene in the cell that they collapsed to the ground.
The prison had become a living hell.
The room was filled with bits of flesh and broken human bones.
It instilled fear in the guards and left them with psychological trauma.
Only then did the guards understand why their prince was called a madman.
